fascinating but creepy….

History matters to Soros, the 39-year-old heir to the multibillion-dollar empire built by his famous investor and philanthropist father George, now 94. The Hungarian Holocaust survivor and hedge fund pioneer made a fortune on big investment bets, including famously shorting the British pound in 1992. He founded the Open Society Foundations to promote democracy and human rights in central and eastern Europe.

…Admired by progressives around the world, his father is also vilified by the right as the head of a global conspiracy, a characterisation that is laced with antisemitic undertones….

Today, Soros heads the OSF and is the only family member on the investment committee ofSoros Fund Management, the investment firm that manages family money as well as the foundations’ endowment. …Alumni of the hedge fund include Scott Bessent, Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary….

Since taking over, he has wielded the axe, massively downsizing staff numbers….“My father didn’t want to create an employment agency, he wanted to create anetwork of networksand he was very upset with the amount of bureaucracy at the foundation . . .

Since he took over, the foundation has focused more on climate and green jobs and increased spending in the US to civil rights groups that work on issues such as immigration, the right to vote and political inequality.

RE TRUMP:

“We have to know what we’re dealing with. These people are bullies. And you fight back, you push back . . . I hope Marx and Hegel were right that first comes the tragedy and then comes the farce.I worry it’ll be the other way around, that we’ll look back at Trump’s first term as farcical and this is going to be very bad and tragic for a lot of people.”

[bad for OSF at least]

Documenting what he’s doing through social media, he tells me, is his way of fighting back against conspiracies. “There’s this toxification of us, which I think is not real, meaning I think you can push back. Everyone says we’re part of some global conspiracy, and I’m just like, ‘We’re not.’

I wish we were as effective as some people say.”
